The gold/silver hat (FPR) at the cam gear side of the fuel rail, it has a rubber line going to it.

it has 2 lines.. the small line is the vacume line you tap into for the boost gauge.. the larger line is the fuel return line.. do not tap into that one lol..

No problem!

Remember, use the small vacuum hose. If you pull the hose off and fuel comes out, you have the wrong hose!

When installing oil pressure gauges I prefer to use one of the numerous ports found on the head. There are multiple machining access holes on the head that are blocked up with allen-headed plugs. Pull out the plug, thread in a matching metric adapter and install the gauge hose.
